THE ACHILLES HEAL OF US HOMELAND SECURITY

In the war on terror, nothing could be worse than shadow-boxing with the threat posed by the Global Jihad. As was shown in London, the enemy is determined, bold and organized. So it came as a surprise to read that New York, the first US City to be victimized by this threat, instituted "random" searches on its subway system. The purpose of this according to the Mayor was to avoid any hint of profiling.

It is time to call a spade a spade. If intelligence reveals that DHS should be looking for 3 Swedes or 4 Chinese or 2 Mexicans, as an American, I want them to be able to look for the potential terrorists. If these terrorists happen to be Muslims, then even American Muslims should feel comfortable in knowing that these terrorists may be stopped. Yes, it may be an inconvenience to all US citizens but let's stop the sham of being "politically correct". We are only doing what the enemy expects us to and aiding them in the process.

Warning: Fourteen Killed in Explosion in Chechnya

Los Angeles Times (07/20/05) ; Murphy, Kim

Fourteen people were killed and 21 others wounded by a cunningly designed terrorist attack in northern Chechnya. Police received a phone call that gunfire had targeted a jeep in the center of a local town. A team of police officers was dispatched, and the officers arrived at the scene half an hour later, discovering a jeep with the body of a police officer in the front passenger seat. A crowd of bystanders had gathered around the jeep. When police opened the door of the jeep, 17 pounds of TNT hidden inside the booby-trapped jeep exploded, killing and wounding both police and bystanders. Authorities theorize that the police officer in the jeep had been killed as many as several days earlier and placed in the vehicle as a ruse to get the police to set off the explosives. The blast was so powerful that nothing but the jeep's axles remained after the attack.

New York to educate the public on suspicious behaviour

Beware the mass transit rider with clenched fists. Or one nervously feeling under or patting down his or her clothes. Or one who reeks of too much cologne or perfume.

According to a new police memo, someone looking or smelling that way -though not particularly odd by New York standards - could be a terrorist about to strike.
